I was sent to

(Artwork by Jay Remer, the Etiquette Guy)
While obediently on my way, my hand absent-mindedly found a momentary perch on the back of his head as I passed. I like to do that, without thinking -- the consistency of physical touch is something that flows naturally out of me -- sometimes I have to work to keep it in check.
But in that moment when my fingers made contact with his hair, the previous night flashed through my mind's eye...
..."Go ahead. Grab, and pull. See what happens..."
My fingers are running through his hair as we lay there -- it is short, but still grabbable, if I do it right...

I try several times

No tempting of fate, no adventurous follies -- at least, not last night...
Suddenly I am back in the dining room, my fingers in his hair, my steps carrying me around to the kitchen behind him...
And I grab -- and I pull...
And I run.
And I run.
I know which cabinet I need -- it happens to be a low cupboard -- I have to bend down in order to reach it...

He did not even bother to fuss with any clothing or implements -- just his hand, doling out a sharp and impromptu reminder that certain actions, no matter how spur-of-the-moment, come with consequences...! :D:D
Rayne Bailey! For having such a wonderful memory and gifted ability to bring your readers in to the moment, I'm fairly confident this recollection might be missing at least one aside. However, that is something we can discuss privately, after a bath in the near future.
ReplyDeleteI will confirm to your readers that you were prompted to pull my hair, but again, your recollection fails you and thus, your readers. I distinctly recall seeing the desire and longing in your eyes to perform the act which you finally mustered the courage to do.
With affectionate memories of both experiences,
Arthur
Rayne: Very well done.
ReplyDeleteArthur -- I am quite grateful that, in the moment, the bathbrush which had been sitting on the counter only the day before somehow graciously disappeared :D When I saw you looking for it as you flew into the kitchen behind me I almost kept running!! :D:D HUGS xo
ReplyDeletejoeyred -- thank you!! :D
ReplyDeleteMr.Arthur: My complements to you and the other Tops. You were very successful in affecting my psyche in preparation for the weekend. Dry mouth, heart pumping, etc.
ReplyDelete@Rayne Next time you try that can you pull his hair for me also. I am chicken to ever do that. Thanks. Hehe.
